Chapter 162: Chapter 136: Seizing Power, Picking the Peach

The atmosphere was silent.

The Eldest Prince had retracted all his aura within his body at this moment. His golden short hair gently fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyes were filled with coldness.

"I’ll talk to father about it!" The Eldest Prince waved his hand, his robe moving slightly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I think, no one likes the scorching sun; gentle light shines only on those who are discerning."

As he spoke, Lin Ke felt as if the surrounding light was drawing closer to him. Before he could react, his body was confined.

At the same time, this inexplicable power confined everyone present, including Rica and the Fog Woman.

The Eldest Prince possessed formidable strength!

And as soon as the Eldest Prince finished speaking, that confining power vanished without a trace.

Lin Ke broke out in a cold sweat.

Life and death were beyond personal control!

In such a moment, what Lin Ke had to do was not foolishly clench his fist with a venomous gaze, nor shout "Thirty years east of the river."

Life and death are controlled by others, and still shouting there? What, not dying fast enough?

Reality is not a novel.

He could only endure.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Rica was a bit puzzled and also slightly angry: "Why did you suddenly restrain us!"

"Little Lica, you’ve just taken the Order Potion, you can now deeply perceive the laws of plants, quickly go..." The Eldest Prince’s expression returned to gentleness as he spoke to Rica, then he turned to a woman behind him and said, "Benadonna, take my sister to your demiplane, and return only after the laws of the Order Potion dissipate."

The girl behind him was petite, with a head of long purple hair, carrying a pitch-black scythe two or three times her size.

She looked about five or six years old, slightly shorter than Lin Ke, yet the scythe was about 189 centimeters, nearly two meters.

The girl stepped forward with an indifferent expression, her entire body along with the scythe transforming into darkness, enveloping Rica.

"Ah! Dark Maiden! What are you doing! I warn you... Uh..."

Before Rica could finish speaking, she was swallowed by darkness and disappeared along with the Dark Maiden.

Dark Maiden!

Lin Ke had read in books, she was a level 21 deity of the Gula Kingdom, belonging to the divine system of the Moon Goddess!

After Rica was taken away, the atmosphere finally became completely cold.

Behind the Eldest Prince were the incarnations of gods from the Moon Goddess’s nocturnal and tranquil divine systems.

Behind Lin Ke were a group of small nobles and petty lords who dared not utter a sound.

Lin Ke felt increasingly powerless.

If... if he had thirty years...

No, just ten years...

"Well then... Count of Azanen, or rather, Mr. Heir of Viscount Azanen, what is your wish?"

Three metal spheres hovered around the Eldest Prince, emitting a faint white light, as if his smile was warm and gentle.

Lin Ke felt this "gentleness" and said expressionlessly: "Eldest Prince, Your Highness, as you decide, I will take my leave to attend to matters within my domain."

Finally, Count Akel couldn’t help but speak: "Eldest Prince, I remember His Majesty said that royal family members aren’t to interfere in disputes among local nobles."

The Eldest Prince smiled softly and said: "I’ve not interfered in your disputes, have I?"

Viscount Mantis also spoke up: "As far as I know, the Eldest Prince is merely dealing with family matters."

Grizzly Bear also chuckled: "Didn’t Count Linke say? Everything is for victory, haha, hahaha."

The Eldest Prince smiled.

Count Giant Sword frowned: "Lin Ke’s wisdom is comparable to Lady of Tides back in the day, to arbitrarily dismiss him from the position of Grand Commander is not a mark of noble glory!"

As someone who rose to the rank of Count by sheer force, he was more confident speaking than Count Akel.

"Hmm, I will surely abide by the ancient noble covenant... However, as far as I know, that heir gentleman is not a true Count, and as for my father’s commander appointment... Sorry, my father said the front line is to be led by Little Lica, and my mother gave her oral decree for me to take charge."

The Eldest Prince spoke unhurriedly, his demeanor gentle yet his tone did not reflect it.

"The oral decree of the Moon Goddess... Forgive me, His Majesty is our true sovereign." Count Giant Sword frowned and refuted.

"My father and mother’s intentions, I don’t know, but now Rica is not here, um, sorry..." The Eldest Prince’s voice carried a hint of apology: "If you gentlemen don’t welcome us, then we’ll leave the fortress."

Leave!

The words had reached the point, and the attitude was quite clear.

For this fortress, Gula Border, it was okay without Lin Ke, even without Count Giant Sword.

But without these incarnations of starlight, there’s nothing left.

"Eldest Prince, Your Highness need not do so, only I am the one to leave, but this wall was built by the people of Azanen, if Eldest Prince wishes for it, please first wipe out our family."

After finishing, Lin Ke turned and left promptly, without any hesitation.

The Eldest Prince wore a full smile, watching Lin Ke walk down the wall, then glanced at the old man beside him.

The old man immediately stepped forward and loudly proclaimed: "Our ’Great Wall’ fortress has achieved its first victory! Driving away the vile magical beasts! Thanks to the great, wise Eldest Prince Telang, under his brilliant leadership..."

After a lengthy speech, Eldest Prince Telang smilingly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my father and others are hunting in the All Heavens Star Realm, once the war ends, everyone will accompany me to the abyss for rewards, then merit will be evaluated and rewarded accordingly."

Hunting in All Heavens Star Realm!

Going to the abyss to evaluate merit!

The thoughts of the gathered nobles immediately shifted from Lin Ke to Eldest Prince Telang.

"Prince Telang, what should we do next?" a noble asked.

"Next?" The Eldest Prince chuckled: "Wait for my main body to return from the All Heavens Star Realm, then launch an attack on the Great Swamp!"

As he spoke, he muttered in a voice everyone could hear: "Lead the charge? Ha, that’s a game for children."

"Prince Telang, do we still maintain the previous organization? I mean, the current teams actually better leverage our strength," Count Giant Sword spoke up again and asked.

"Oh? Giant Sword, please elaborate." The Eldest Prince maintained his smile and gestured towards Count Giant Sword.

Count Giant Sword immediately began to succinctly explain some of Lin Ke’s arrangements and setups.

"Good, good, good!" After the explanation, the Eldest Prince nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your theory shall be named ’Giant Sword War Tactics’! I recall your profession requires feedback from warfare, right? Why not document these things on parchment? It must be difficult for a [War Fanatic] to ascend to starlight level, correct?"

Giant Sword War Tactics... feedback... starlight level...

Count Giant Sword was dealt quite a blow by these successive remarks, a strong look of struggle flashing across his cold face.

Those were Lin Ke’s ideas, should he write them into a book?

"No rush, take your time to think." The Eldest Prince chuckled, then glanced at the others, smiling without speaking.

The other nobles were somewhat shocked beyond words.

From the arrival of the Eldest Prince till now, in just a few words, Lin Ke’s achievements were entirely picked clean.

And many of Lin Ke’s ideas and methods were thrown to Giant Sword for him to decide whether to seize them.

In the future, who would remember the efforts made by a mere Viscount heir here?

Meanwhile, Lin Ke had only reached the base of the wall, heard the clear voice of the Eldest Prince, paused his steps briefly before resuming his strides, marching with large steps.
